The earthquake hit in the New Jersey suburb of Hasbrouck Heights at about 10:18 p.m. Eastern time at a depth of about 6.2 miles.

If the earthquake triggered memories of last year's big shake there are some key differences. Last year's earthquake centered near Tewksbury, New Jersey, was a magnitude 4.8. That's almost 20 times stronger than Saturday night's earthquake.

The epicenter of the 3.0-magnitude quake, which struck around 10:20 p.m. on Saturday, was near Teterboro Airport in New Jersey.
